Doherty Couplers & Attachments design and manufacture hydraulic excavator attachments — quick couplers, tilt couplers, buckets and specialist hydraulic equipment used across construction, civil and resources industries throughout Australia and New Zealand. Our Australian assembly operations are headquartered at Wacol in Brisbane, with branches in Melbourne and south-west Sydney.

Our purpose is straightforward: help customers get more from their machines through the right attachment, real-world know-how and dependable support. Every role in the business contributes to that directly — and this one is no exception.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a practical, switched-on Storeperson to own dispatch and the warehouse at our Brisbane assembly facility. When a completed attachment leaves this site, it needs to be right.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role. You'll coordinate every outbound shipment, book and manage the freight, keep our stock figures accurate, receipt goods in when dispatch allows, and make sure every attachment is checked and complete before it ships.

We're not looking for someone to follow a task list. We need someone who notices what's going on, thinks ahead, spots mistakes before they become customer problems, and takes personal ownership of the warehouse and everything that moves through it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Dispatch & Freight

- Coordinate all outbound dispatch of attachments and parts to customers across Australia
- Book and manage freight carriers — select the right transport for attachment size, weight and destination
- Prepare all dispatch documentation — delivery dockets, freight labels, consignment notes
- Pack, protect, strap and secure attachments properly before they leave the facility
- Track shipments and follow up on delays, damage claims and delivery failures
- Never dispatch an attachment without QA sign-off from the Workshop Manager

Inwards Goods & Stock

- Receive, unload and check inbound deliveries against purchase orders — quantity, part number and condition




- Receipt goods into our ERP system accurately and promptly
- Quarantine and flag anything damaged, incorrect or non-conforming straight away
- Keep stock records and locations accurate — no mystery stock, no unreceipted deliveries
- Run cycle counts and support monthly and annual stocktakes
- Check every item against its paperwork, sales order and serial number before it ships

Plant, Facility & Standards

- Operate forklifts and overhead cranes safely and within load limits
- Load and unload containers and trucks using correct lifting practice
- Keep the warehouse, dispatch area and yard clean, protected and organised
- Support 5S standards and report facility or plant issues promptly
- Help customers, sales staff and field service with parts and dispatch enquiries

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

- Experience in a warehouse, stores or manufacturing receiving and dispatch role
- Current forklift licence
- Accurate and systematic — counts correctly, checks part numbers, doesn't rush at the expense of accuracy
- Comfortable using computers — stock systems, email and basic admin tools
- Physically capable of manual handling, packing and loading within safe limits
- Practical and product-aware — at home around heavy equipment and able to tell one part from another
- Reliable, punctual and happy with a 6:00am start

Preferred

- Experience in construction equipment, attachments or industrial machinery
- Familiarity with ERP or warehouse management systems
- Experience with freight coordination and carrier management
- Experience dispatching oversize, heavy or palletised freight

You'll suit this role if you're accurate under pressure,



take pride in a clean and organised facility, communicate proactively when something isn't right, and understand that getting the right product to the right customer — on time and complete — is what the job is really about.
- Straightforward: You communicate clearly, deal with issues directly, and don't let problems sit.
- Reliable: You show up, follow through, and can be trusted with stock, customers and company standards.
- Practical: You're comfortable with machinery and physical work — and can spot when something doesn't look right.
- Team-minded: You help outside your own task list and understand your role affects the whole operation.
- Detail-focused: Accuracy in receiving, stock records and dispatch documentation is non-negotiable.
